I would suggest you research a little harder and do a whole heap of reading first before posting questions like that (and please dont post in the developers forums).
Thanks.

It's not the size so much as the server is just slow. Once it finishes I'll take a look and then flash. Do you even have this device?

Slim Bean 4.1.1 UNOFFICIAL Discussion Thread

Post your questions, inquires, and whatever is on your mind here to minimize the clutter in the main thread.
Gmillz is currently working on building slim bean from source. He has a test build, which you need to PM him if interested. This may lead to him adding more features and making it look pretty.
2.6.0 may come out soon as per manuelscout4life's thread. As soon as that happens, it will be epic. Just wait and see.

Thank guys! If this how you flame people that give a complete answer providing more info to help then a plain "yes".
Sorry for the issue, I though it could help some others so they will not have to start new thread asking for each different kernel.
Seem this forum is not friendly at all, Really nice first impressions!!

In all seriousness, it's actually not a friendly forum at all. The devs are great for providing us with their work, but that's where the greatness ends. You have overzealous mods, people who take this **** way too seriously, trolls, and then idiots.
